[Exist-open] dist-war builds of eXist 1.5 available from RSS feed

[Martin H. <mh...@uv...>]

Hi all,

As we've discussed on a previous thread, we're experimenting with 
building the eXist trunk (1.5) WAR output using different JDKs, using a 
Jenkins Continuous Integration server. We're making the last few builds 
of each type available for download from here:

<http://hcmc.uvic.ca/downloads/existbuilds.xml>

Our purpose is to save ourselves the trouble of checking out and 
building a new WAR file manually -- we can always go and grab the latest 
one -- and to test some of the non-standard builds (using e.g. OpenJDK7 
and Oracle JDK 1.7.

One of the builds is a standard build with the Oracle JDK 1.6, though.

So if you're using dist-war, and you want to check out your project with 
the latest build from the eXist trunk, you can download one from there. 
Please let us know about any experiences you have, good or bad, with 
these builds, through the eXist list; I know other people are testing 
with OpenJDK and wondering about Java 7. Typically it will take less 
than an hour from when someone checks in a change to the SVN on 
SourceForge to when the build from that revision appears on our feed.

The Jenkins server itself is here:

and you can check out the console output from any build by clicking on 
the build number, and then hitting Parsed Console Output.

Cheers,
Martin
